My progress on writing, and other things.

Mood: Talkative
Listening To: “Timeless” – Justin Guarini & Kelly Clarkson.

Okay, okay. I’ll keep my mindless/pointless rambling to myself. No need to be alarmed. I’ve decided this because when I look back at the old posts/entries, they look really stupid. I definitely do not want to look stupid, thank you very much. Instead I think I’ll either talk about my daily doings or my writing… or something else. I really don’t know.

Man, the time is going way too fast. It was just Monday and now its Saturday. And it’s already October! Only two more months till Christmas… But still, I wish it wouldn’t go so quickly. I mean… I know I can’t avoid it, but sometimes things just tend to become more complicated that way-- more stressful. Especially in school, school’s been a bit of a pain. It’s true, I’m not arguing as much as I use to, and I’m putting more effort in my work. But still… it doesn’t change my feelings towards it. In the end it’s a pain.

Okay, let’s not talk about school. Let’s talk about… my stories! Ok, so I don’t have so much to say, but I got a bit of a break-through for both of the stories I’m working on. Remember when I mentioned this one story that I was planning in the late 1800’s? Well, like I mentioned in an earlier post, I have finally figured out the plotline/plot. Besides that, I also thought up a new character, which I expect to play a big role in the story, other then the two main characters – Jasmine Betrum and Adrian Simton. His name is Lawrence Price. You could say his last name is a pun because he is very rich. But it wasn’t on purpose, I just couldn’t think of anything that fit better with his name. I like his first name especially. “Lawrence” sounds French. Is it?

(NOTE: Do NOT steal my characters, and do NOT steal their names. They are rightfully copyrighted to me, unless someone has already used them before me, which I highly doubt. So keep your wits alert. And don’t even think of using them.)

Now, remember the fantasy story I once was talking about? Now, do you remember me mentioning that it would be about dragons? Well, I decided that but I didn’t know what the dragons’ role in the story would be exactly. The only thing I knew was that they would be a big conflict in the story. But now I have thought of this: they will have a conflict with others, but what kind? I still haven’t answered that question completely, but I do know that it is a conflict that relates to everyone, and it is somewhat like a racial war. In my opinion, the dragons are one of the most powerful fantasy creatures. And because of that, in my story the dragons have great power over the other races. But that is all of the past (in my story). In the current time of the story, the dragons live quietly alone (there are very little of them left), and the other races live peacefully as well. But as the story progresses, strange things start to happen, and slowly things are being destroyed. Supposedly the dragons are in power again, but why? Why so suddenly break the peace? That is one of the questions of the story, and even I haven’t decided why that is. But this is not all the story will be about; it just plays most of it. (NOTE: Again, do NOT steal my ideas or characters. They are rightfully copyrighted to me.)

Okay, I know I will sound weird saying this, but what I just said… about the dragons and all, that helped me. I didn’t have that idea in my head before. I just knew the dragons would be important. That’s what’s so cool about writing down your thoughts and ideas, because they might just evolve in to something else completely different. And all by accident!

All right (I use “okay” way too much), I think I’ll go downstairs and see what my parents are watching. It’s getting sort of creepy up here. Not really, actually. I just want to go downstairs, lol. See ya!
